Topic: Help! Need an original source from the Punic Wars. Posted: 20-Apr-2005 at 16:05 |
I'm doing an annotated bibliography for my HIS Western Civ class. My
topic is the Punic Wars. I need an original print source. For example:
A book by Aristotle is an original source on Aristotle, A newspaper
article written during the U.S. Civil War is an original source on that
time period.
Does anyone know of an original source I can use for the Punic
Wars? Is there someone who wrote about the Punic Wars during that time
period, if so, would you know the book?
Thanks

Here is the full text of Polybious about the first Punic war.

Well, there's Polybius, which was given to you. You can take a
look at Livy. Livy wrote after the wars, Polybius wrote during
the latter years of the wars. Eh, Zonoras, although Byzantine,
wrote about the wars, and is still pretty old to be considered a good
source for primary material. Appian wrote about the Punic Wars,
but only fragments survive - you can find them on various websites if
you search google. Those are the only major ones I own, or
remember.

I also need the following: one scholarly journal article, two magazines
or other articles. I found some articles at my library using the EBSCO
database search. Does anyone know of any scholarly journals and
magazines that can be found online that pertain to (ancient) history,
that have had an issue to do with the Punic Wars?
Thank you so much, James.

I can scan you in two articles if you wish. They would be images,
however. Although I guess you could print them out as images and read
them like that.

Dux, that would be great! Would you at all be willing to also give me the necessary bibliograpy information for the articles?
If needed, my email: jamesucc@yahoo.com
Thank you so much for all the helpful replies.
For example:
ARTICLE FROM A SCHOLARLY JOURNAL:
Scotto, Peter.
"Censorship, Reading, and Interpretation: a Case Study from the Soviet Union."
PMLA 109 (January 1994)
: 61-70.
ARTICLE FROM A MAGAZINE:
Hafner, Katie.
"Making Sense of the Internet." Newsweek, 24 October 1994, 46-48.
